This excerpt from Ending Medical Reversal examines the frequent occurrence of medical reversals—instances where accepted medical practices are later proven ineffective or even harmful. The authors explore various contributing factors, including flawed study designs, reliance on surrogate outcomes, industry bias, and the influence of subjective patient experiences. Specific examples of reversed practices across diverse areas like medication, surgery, screening, and systems interventions are analyzed to illustrate the scope of the problem. The text concludes by proposing reforms in medical education and research practices to mitigate the frequency of medical reversals and improve patient care.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Ending-Medical-Reversal-Improving-Outcomes/dp/1421429047?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=4dfe1a6718e10329976a88f5b67cdd7e&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
